o it known that I, Samoan A. Hrson, a ii of the United States, residingat in the county, of Summit, State of ha e invented-certain new andusemul'tancously driven by a novel gearing argeinent, which is supportedon the cover oif the receptacle whereby a high speedof rotationmay beimparted to the dashers with decreased wor ring power to more quicklyconvert the cream into butter.

llith the above and-other objects in view, the invention resides more(particularly in the peculiar combinations an arrangements of parts,which will be partly illustrated a a preferred embodiment in theaccompanying drawings and described in the specificatiom-althouyh theinvention is protected for all desirable changes and uses within thescope of the invention as claimed.

This cross brace thus supports M theshafts in spaced relation with the shouldersresting on the sleeves 24and the top portions of the shafts are rovided with enlargements 27producing s oulders engaged by similar sleeves formed at the extremitiesof the arms-10f a similar cross brace 28. The hub portions of thesebraces are connected-by cred or bolt 29 with nuts or ca s 30 mounted ontheir extremities whereby tlie will r:

The gear wheel 42 is formed with an upwardly extending pinion 46 whichis spaced from the hub and is adapted to berotuted through anintermcahed vcrticalgear 47.
